How to do it
- Lie on a flat bench, grip the bar about shoulder-width apart and unrack it over your shoulders with straight arms.
- Bend your elbows and let them drift toward your feet as you lower the bar toward your chin or upper chest.
- Stop when your forearms meet your upper arms, then press the bar back up to straight arms.
- Keep your elbows tucked and use a spotter or safety arms, since the bar comes down close to your face.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
